The Z-Man observes how civic
nationalists, melting-potheads, and proposition nationalists repeatedly fail to grok the reality of a demographically failed
state:
Those who have tried to engage with hardcore civic
nationalists or evangelical patriots will have experienced a strange phenomenon
where they appear to be strangely blind to certain topics. For example, the story about the black seeking out and throwing
a white child over a third floor railing at the Mall of America. These super-normies respond to it by
blaming communism or democrats. It’s as if the facts cause their code to reboot
and they start repeating whatever they saw on Sean Hannity the prior evening.
If you press them on the obvious racial angle, they get flustered and either change the subject or break into a different chant about how America is an idea. It’s an odd thing that suggests these people have some sort of shunt in their consciousness that prevents them from seeing certain aspects of life. It’s not just a matter of self-censorship in order to avoid taboo subjects. Something seems to have been altered in their brains that prevents them from seeing anything that contradicts the colorblind fantasy.
It is an important fact for dissidents to accept. A lifetime of conditioning, perhaps generations of conditioning, have made it impossible for some people to ever look up and see the great divide, much less cross over to this side. Part of it is the normal desire of most humans to belong to the pack. To stand outside the main, with regards to biology, is a dangerous place. It is a form of self-exile. Naturally, most people would not choose it, even if it meant degrading themselves by repeating what they know to be untrue.

Aristotle explained this mysterious phenomenon: "Before some
audiences not even the possession of the exactest knowledge will make it easy
for what we say to produce conviction. For argument based on knowledge
implies instruction, and there are people whom one cannot instruct."
- Aristotle, Rhetoric
Their attachment to racial equality, civic nationalism, the melting pot, and the concept of the nation as idea is emotional, not rational. Reason will not change their minds. Only emotion will do so, and the most convincing emotion is fear. They will not, they cannot, change their minds until they begin to fear for their lives, one way or another.
